Sunshine Diner in Fredericton

Extremely rude. Will never go here, be more kind to your delivery people. Without them youre nothing.

The service can be slow at times but only because it s busy and it s always worth the wait anyway.

The burger could have been bigger. But it was homemade and absolutely delicious. The folks working are adorable.

Great food, great price. Relaxed dinner atmosphere.

An old school diner experience. Food was marvelous as well as the wait staff. Busy. But, worth the wait.

Great food, great prices, and fantastic service. Thank you Food

Order. Visit. Feast. Repeat the Breakfast Cooked with Love at the Sunshine Diner Awesome food & service served by a staff family to families and travelers that has love baked into each bite. Our favorite server is seasoned - Lynn who could out-serve a teenager on rollar skakes. The Sunshine Diner is an Oasis in a sea of corporate fast-food joints. There is a reason it is a hang-out for the locals as well as the occasional visitors from across the street from the Delta Hotel. The food is fresh and cooked to order from a menu that is a testament to a family-friendly local restaurant. The prices are more than reasonable and the portions generous. There is a leveling of the social hierarchy as everyone obtains their own beverages which is part of the charm in watching the newbies get politely put in their place when water & coffee & drinks are requested. The Sunshine Diner teaches the lessons of patience, gratitude, and fellowship as opportunities are presented for families to interact beyond the cell phone screen in a heartfelt environment. So, be patient, visit with your family, and await the breakfast feast that awaits you at every visit to the Sunshine Diner.

No vegan food options on the menu.

Worth every time you have to wait to get a table and receive your order. Everything is fresh, homemade, and grilled.

Great traditional style diner!

Great place for breakfast, I made the wrong choice for lunch. Lets just say skip the burger... this does NOT keep me from visiting every time I visit Fredericton

The staff is always hustling and bustling my favorite for breakfast

Awesome place for an affordable and delicious breakfast! Will definitely be back next time Im in the area!

Great gem off the beaten path!

Excellent home style food, fresh & delicious. Served by the nicest ladies anywhere!

Great family style dinner where everyone is very welcoming.

Very good food and very friendly staff

I ve been in a few times for breakfast with coworkers over the summer and the food has always been great. Nothing fancy, just good ol fashioned diner food and bottomless coffee (exactly what I wanted, so comforting). The staff working there are lovely. It s a great little spot.

Good home cook meal and amazing service

Great experience.

Food wait is long when busy

An absolutely gorgeous little mom and pop place. The server was very friendly, kind, and attentive. No candlelight, but a 60s dinner vibe that is authentic

What a comfortable place to have a delicious meal!

Great diner for a quick meal.

Food was great. I ordered the Hot turkey sandwich. Will definitely be back

Nice old fashion type diner experience. Friendly service, great home style food. Loved the self serve coffee, tea beverage set up. Great idea!

Delicious

This is defenitley a lovely spot for lunch or really just a good meal for a fair price. I went with a friend and we loved it.The food was awesome and was a good home cooked meal.I will most assuredly be back.I am thankful that there is an affordable place to have lunch.

Great food and spectacular service!. Atmosphere is dated but that by no means detracts from the experience. Value of meals is honestly amazing in my honest opinion. Ill definately be back again.

A wonderful little dinner with home cooked food with a down home atmosphere.

We are traveling across Canada to the east coast. We love to support mom and pops restraunts! This was awesome! Dietary restrictions: Low carb breakfastu

Really good breakfast. Toast is homemade bread!!!! We liked the self serve coffee, tea, hot chocolate, etc. Great idea!!!

Solid breakfast spot.

The same wonderful service as always. So nice when a waitress says she hasnt seen us for awhile. The staff are all friendly like this. Breakfast was A-1 as always. Love it here.

Friendly staff, good food, but... slooow service... dont go if youre pressed for time. :-)

Our favorite spot for breakfast. Such kind staff and amazing homemade bread. Hopefully we will be back again this weekend

The price is right. But the home fries seems to be made with white potatoes. No good.

If I could give more stars I would. The food is always home-cooked with love. The staff are always more than amazing. They are so hard working and happy. Ive been coming here through all different stages of my life and The Sunshine Diner makes my heart feel like Sunshine. Thank you today for the wonderful cold plates I put in for take out. Thank you for making my day today as I sat there waiting for my order the smiles, the laughter, the love I could feel it all. I thank you for being you You make the world a better place by being in it!!!! If you havent been please go see for yourself.

We stopped in for breakfast and tried the Really Big Breakfast .... It was tasty and very filling, the home made baked beans was a pleasant surprise. The staff was amazing, we will be back.

My first time there. Service was great and food was good. I liked that you got your own coffee and water so you didnt have to wait.

Excellent place for lunch. Small neighborhood restaurant.

If you are looking for an authentic diner experience with good food, pleasant efficient service and reasonable pricing, this is the place to go. The breakfast is filling and well cooked. Toast is homemade bread. Beans are baked in-house I believe and they are really good! There is always fresh coffee available (you get your own) as well as black and green tea. Our waitress was friendly and efficient. We always enjoy the Sunshine Diner!

Terrible. Two adults and 2 children- we stopped in for pancakes and pie. 1 order of pancakes took an hour to come to the table. Never received the pie, and when I reminded one of the waitresses she said, well, Ill have to get it later... so sorry to inconvenience you. Clearly I didnt though, because it never came. Fake maple syrup. Zero charm. Happy the coffee is self serve, otherwise I doubt I wouldve gotten that either. Go somewhere else, dont waste your money on this place.

Everything you want from a home-style restaurant, food that tastes like Nanny made it. Great service, friendly staff and most important great home-style meals away from home.

Good ol style Canadian diner. Pancakes eggs benny were a great choice for us.

Everything was excellent, fresh and great service we will be coming back for more. Kid-friendliness: Kids menu

Food was delicious and the staff were the sweetest people ever. Great diner with plenty of options, homey feel and amazing staff! Food : 5/5

A real, hometown diner feel in the city. The food is excellent. They do not deep fry any items on the menu. The bread is homemade, the pancakes are massive, and the coffee is hot, fresh, and delicious. OH and the baked beans!!! Tastes just like Grandmas! Delicious. The ladies here are so sweet and know what they re doing! Not much of an ambiance, the layout and decor have been the exact same since I was a child. It s not fancy at all, so if you re looking for upscale, this isn t it. This is just a solid, home cooked feed cooked and served by the sweetest ol gals!

Awesome service, tasty home-made food and quaint atmosphere. Whats not to love.

Best place for sure, home cooking at its finest

This diner was everything I wanted it to be! Small, quaint, and super friendly. You can tell this is typically full of just locals that come regularly. We had the really big breakfast and it more than fed two of us. The pancake was fluffy and the protein was cooked well without being greasy. Honestly each item was delicious and I would be back if I was local!

Had Breakfast. It was really good , and the best waitress ever .

Classic!

We went back after going just over a month ago. this time i got the sunshine benny. it was absolutely delicious and the portion was very good. so good in fact i had to take some home because i couldn t finish it. we had the same waitress as last time and she even remembered us. (were a big family so it makes sense ) i am in love with the atmosphere and the make ur own coffee/tea station. keep up the great work ladies! Kid-friendliness: family restaurant

Love this breakfast spot! I travel frequently in the summer and try to hit breakfast spots as I can and none of the ones I visited in New Brunswick or surrounding areas have compared in regards to price, quality of service, and the absolutely delicious food.

Casual breakfast spot with friendly staff and good food

The food is good but the service is very slow.

Classic diner. I love the no fry zone.

Food is good. Great people. Their Estimated times are quite inaccurate, making for slow pick up.

A little slow service, but worth the wait.

Great breakfast spot with tasty home-style lunch and supper options.

Awesome home cooked breakfast and great service.

Service and food were great

Best staff and best breakfast in town.

Great breakfast

Great food

Excellent little diner. The breakfast special was filling and came with bottomless coffee. Location right across from the Delta was convenient too. Update: Two years later and theyre just as good! They now have screens installed and are very careful about cleaning tables between customers, and still just as great a value as ever!

This breakfast was absolutely delicious. The homefries with onions (as a choice) were the best I have had in a long time. You can also sub the sausages or ham out for more bacon, and vice versa. The staff and locals are super friendly, so much so that you can help yourself to drinks and coffee as you wait for food. Its atmosphere brings me back to simpler days. What a wonderful place to eat!!

Very disappointed with the speed of service... I will give some credit with only having 4 staff working on busy Sunday but they over crowded the restaurant before people even gotten thier food we have wait 40-60 mins after we had ordered..also our oder was wrong was never asked how we wanted our eggs. not guarantee we wont be back... as brought it up to cashier but she came back with well no one perfect.. we didnt not stay to eat our order as said would be a bit before correction of the orders... sunshine diner Stars are falling

Decent place for breakfast, nothing fancy

An excellent dinner experience, the staff are super friendly and have unlimited coffee brewing.

Homemade bread and home fries, King Cole tea, friendly staff. This place is a gem. Skip the hotel breakfast and have the real deal right across the street and less than half the price. Best breakfast I have had in a long time. We will be back!!

Classic spot, I love getting my own coffee and water.

Breakfast at the Sunshine Diner is amazing. Lots of options, and they are all delicious!

The food Breakfast was fantastic.

Good little place to eat breakfast

Parking: Good location from delta hotel.

Great homemade food and friendly staff

Great food and service.

Came in on September 7 and boys oh boys this was some great classic food. Im from a small town and its very hard to replicate the small town feel but this place does it. The waitress knew at least half of the customers names and was very friendly to everyone. The food is your typical diner food but prepared perfectly. If you want to experience a small town country diner this place is the spot. 10/10 would recommend

The food was very good and the prices were reasonable. The self-service coffee (and water) was a good idea. Service, however, was painfully slow -- we waited some 45 minutes for our food. I would return, but only if I was not in a hurray.

Great dinner with all day breakfast.

My eggs were half cooked half not, the bacon was good but my fiancés pancakes were burnt, then my home fries were burnt and not cooked in some places, not the best place for breakfast but it s alright!

Fantastic

Great breakfast. If you dont mind waiting. Very busy spot! Vegetarian options: Of course Dietary restrictions: All that is asked that the allergies or requirement be mentioned on your arrival! Parking: Lots of parking. An option to park in the old esso too Kid-friendliness: They love children. Its a crew of grannys that work there!

Good food, a very hearty, heavy and delicious breakfast. Great service too.

Good food,,old school atmosphere,,you get your moneys worth,,good service to boot

Nice family run restaurant, great food at great prices, super friendly staff!

Great homemade breakfast. Good value for the money

Fabulous service, well priced, ample portioned , scratch cooked, meals. Consistently delicious every time! Food

Its the way it was back when ,the food is great the service is very good . The crowd speaks for itself

Great old time greasy spoon type diner with excellent service and menu including a low carb breakfast (keto)

Standard diner. It seemed a bit chaotic today which lead to slow. Standard breakfast although having some turkey or chicken sausages would be a nice change.

Feels like home

Fried eggs Benny and self serve coffee? Yes please. Vegetarian options: Half the menu is vegetarian by default Food : 5/5 |

Stuck in time. Its that old Mom and Pop place where Mom and Pop still work there. Hand written bills, grab a pop yourself if you cant decide. Prices are stuck in time too. Let me be clear, food is good, service good, portions small, as is the prices. If you want a massive plate of food that you cant finish for three times the price,... This is not your place.

What an absolute gem. We travelled from Ontario to Fredericton for a visit and found this wonderful place. Absolutely lovely people, so warm and inviting. The food is just so delicious, homey and great portions. I just loved the serve yourself coffee and tea. The toast made with homemade bread and the home cooked beans were such a treat, reminded me of nicer, simpler times. Do yourself a favour and eat here. You will not be sorry.

Just like going to moms for dinner

Great breakfast. We ordered often and its one of the best prices for what you get

Best low carb breakfast in the city.

One of my favorite places in Fredericton. Its so homey and the food is amazing. I definitely recommended stopping by

Great place

Very good service and food.

Serve was speedy and polite... The food was over the top good and great for the price

Excellent atmosphere for a small scale restaurant and the food was so good. My meal included ham ... snd it was the best tasting, most tender ham Ive ever tasted. Only complaint and, it is in rhe overall manner of things for this trying time, is that they only had one waitress so service was slow.

Great home cooked meals @ a great price. The staff are friendly and look after you. Highly recommend this diner.

Good prices, very slow service when busy.

Great food and friendly staff

Great little breakfast place! Very nice staff and good food!

Great food and friendly staff

Great staff, good home cooked meals, filling and tasty

Great value. Plain and simple. I go pretty often, i love their bean breakfast. The staff are a little quirky but they are always very warm and friendly. The decor and seating is pretty cozy at the booths.

Amazing HOMEMADE food, Amazing servers! Feels like you are in the kitchen of the house you grew up in!

Very nice people

The best baked beans ever. A local treasure.

Go to this cosey place often ...home made meals and great pies and friendly staff and faif prices.

Nice to see an old friend. Great service, fast home cooked meal

Food is great as always but an hour plus wait at table should not be a thing.

Best restaurant breakfast ever!

Good friendly diner experience

If your hungry, go here! The food is incredible! Farm fresh eggs, local berries, and real ingredients! (Their homemade hollandaise is to die for!) The atmosphere is so welcoming, and they are incredibly friendly as well. We cant wait to go back!

Good lunch, courteous staff.

Absolutely horrible!! Breakfast was not good. Waited 50 minutes for our food. Never again.

Great food, friendly staff, spacious enough to not feel like you are sitting with the next table.

Breakfast special cant be beat. Great staff, always feel welcomed

Good food good prices friendly service

Awesome food

Best omelettes in town! Great prices, and very friendly staff. Not sure how Ive lived here 6 years and havent tried this place yet. Definitely my new go to!

Great food and staff

Great food friendly staff. All covid checks are in place including Vaccination proof prior to dining in. If you love breakfast theyve got you covered. If you love hot turkey dinners they got you covered... get the picture.. :) Check them out! Downtown Fredericton across from the Delta.

Great spot. Good service, good dinner food!

my fave brunch in freddy :) got to start coming more often

Friendly staff. Seems to have a regular clientele (I usually count this as a positive, since the place is likely good consistently.)

Nice local spot. My first time there. Serve yourself hot beverages.

Great home cooking and service!

A great place to sit down, eat some food, and let time pass you by. Its so calm in there that I could fall asleep if I was comfortable enough. You cant get that at McDonalds. The food is good and cheap. I just wish there were more places like it these days.

Cozy place, great service and food.

Friendly people a great food

Great food, great service, and a wonderful staff.

Great food and service!

Excellent service

Great to have a diner that cooks from scratch.. hard to beat!!! And the staff is great also!!!!!

We went for breakfast and we loved it. The staff are super friendly, the food is delicious and we felt really safe given the pandemic and precautions.

Excellent home cooked meal and amazing friendly staff.

Great food, great service, great prices... Whats not to love? Sidenote: they have the whole covid thing down, Ive seen big franchises that have not or will not go to this level to safely serve their customers... Big kudos on the extra mile!!

Excellent breakfast

What a great place to eat. Friendly staff and good home cooked meals. I would definitely recommend this place. Enjoy.

The ultimate down-home diner experience! Great food and fantastic service!

Great meal, great service, great price! What more can you ask for!

Friendly service, had a bit of a wait for food but it was well worth it. Prices are fair for the amount of food you get

Great environment, awesome service and friendly. Breakfast taste like home. Well cooked.

The best sunshine Bennys!

Very cozy, good food, great service.

Great breakfast and great prices!

Yummy eggies mmm

Love the people and food was great. We need more places like this in the world

Great people and environment, clean, but not a big selection if your vegan or vegetarian. It would be a good place if you want a home style meal without making it. Reasonable prices.

Very beautiful and pleasant place to go.

Great place for breakfast. Nice people.

The Staff at Sunshine Dinner make you feel at home. Their setup for the COVID19 era is exceptional.

Always the best service and homemade food

The food was great and the staff were great!! Pandemics are hard, but our experience was very enjoyable.

I just love this place! Real home cooking, what a gem of a place. It is an older diner, we were fortunate to have stumbled upon this place. The owner is a super nice lady.

Best eggs Benedict I have had

Good food courteous service.

Wonderful hone style cooking very friendly service. Always a great experience.
